Bus to the ballpark
June 6, 2024
Heading to Charles Schwab Field Omaha for this year’s College World Series? Let us do the driving, and check out other great ways to get around the city:
Buses
Metro has three routes that can get CWS fans to the ballpark:
- ORBT, shown on the map in orange [Westroads to Downtown on Dodge]
- Route 4, shown on the map in purple [Westroads to Downtown on Maple]
- Route 13, shown on the map in green [North Downtown to Aksarben]

ORBT, Route 4, and Route 13 will follow their regular schedules on most days.
On days with 6 p.m. games, a couple trips will be added to Routes 4 and 13 after the game for fans. ORBT runs until about midnight – if a CWS game runs longer, ORBT will continue running, with the last trip leaving downtown about 1 hour after the game ends.
Rides on Metro cost $1.25 each way. Fans can park at a free park & ride lot at the Westroads Transit Center for riders, which connects to ORBT and Route 4.
Rider Tips and Tricks
- Check out our Rider Guide for tips on using Metro!
- Pay your fare with Umo, Metro’s contactless fare payment system, which works on all of Metro’s vehicles. It can be used at ticket vending machines, with a smart card, or with a mobile phone app.
- Riders can plan a trip and track their bus using MyRide OMA, Metro’s real-time application, available online, as a mobile app, or via a text message system.
- With Metro’s K-12 Rides Free program, all kids ages 0-18 can ride any Metro bus fare-free!
Bikes
Bikes are another great way to get you to and from the ballpark, a bus stop, or an ORBT Station. Metro buses have bike racks, ORBT buses have onboard bike hangers, and your bike rides free! Racks can accommodate bikes, e-bikes, and Heartland Bike Share bikes under 55 pounds.
Heartland Bike Share will also install a temporary eight-dock station as well as a bike parking corral near 13th & Mike Fahey. If riding your personal bike to park in the corral, riders are advised to bring their own lock and park at their own risk. If riding Heartland Bike Share and the dock station is full, make sure to find a nearby station with an available dock.
Check out our Bike + Ride page for tips, and get ready to roll!
Scooters
There will be designated scooter parking on the corner of 14th & Mike Fahey. Lime scooters are not allowed on board any Metro vehicles or on bus bike racks. Please be considerate when parking a scooter at or near a bus stop, and make sure the stop is accessible.
